A Rising sign lasts one to three hours, so without a birth time no one can name just one. But the day itself is known: enter your birth date and city, and we show every rising sign of that day with the exact minute it began and ended. If you know even roughly when you were born (morning, evening, “around 10”), you will find your Rising in the list.
Find the hour you were born, even roughly. Around sunrise the Rising sign is your Sun sign; around sunset it is the sign opposite your Sun. The exact time is often on a long-form birth certificate or in hospital records, or ask your parents.

Can I find my rising sign without my birth time?Not as one sign: it changes every one to three hours. But you can see every rising sign of your birth day with the exact hours. If you know roughly when you were born, that usually leaves one or two signs.
How long does one rising sign last?From under an hour to more than three hours. North of the equator Capricorn to Gemini rise quickly and Cancer to Sagittarius slowly; south of the equator it is the other way round. Far north, a sign can rise in a few minutes.
What is the rising sign of someone born at 10 am?It depends on the date and the city: at the same hour, the Rising sign differs between cities and between months. Enter your birth date and city: the line that covers 10:00 is your Rising.
What about my Moon sign without a birth time?The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days. On most days it stays in one sign all day; if it changed sign on your birth day, we show the exact minute in the local time of your birthplace.
Why does the city matter?The Rising sign depends on where you were born: at the same minute, different cities have different Rising signs. The city also gives the historical time zone, including old summer time rules.
Where can I find my birth time?Often on a long-form birth certificate or in hospital records. Parents and relatives often remember at least roughly: morning, midday, night. With an exact time, the rising sign calculator gives one sign.
